At a drum clinic, Matt Greiner said this was written after a very difficult time over a financial scandal of some sort involving a once trusted friend.
I think this is his interpretation of the reason why all those bad things happen to good people who obviously don't deserve it. And when you read the lyrics, he perhaps envisions that maybe there are no "good people" or "bad people", just people who make mistakes and have to cope with them the best way they can. His way is God, and all the bad things he's been through made him realize how rich his life is, and how sometimes you have to "lose it all" to realize God's already given everything you truly need to be happy.
